For example, a typical top level federal bureaucrat, who engages in criminal activity, is being thrown under the bus by her bosses. So she in turn is asking for immunity, if she testifies.

Never mind we are paying her salary, so she ought no

1. Commit criminal acts

2. Hide the truth...

But the fact is she does, so we need truth commissions. Let's welcome these instances, and open them wide ... if you have committed a crime, then you can escape punishment if you come clean.
